18 athletes represented Denmark in 1920. It was the nation's fifth appearance in athletics, a sport in which Denmark had competed each time the country appeared at the Olympics. Henry Petersen took the country's only medal, a silver in the pole vault. This was Denmark's best ever result in athletics at the time, topping Ernst Schulz's bronze from 1900, and remains tied for best result through the 2008 Games.

12 boxers represented Denmark at the 1920 Games. It was the nation's second appearance in boxing. Three boxers advanced to the finals in their weight classes, but none was able to win a gold medal.

With a victory in the standing military rifle, Denmark took its first gold in shooting since 1900. Larsen and Madsen (both among the members of that five-man team) also added a silver medal each.

Three tennis players, one man and two women, competed for Denmark in 1920. It was the nation's second appearance in the sport.

Five weightlifters, one in each weight class, represented Denmark in 1920. It was the nation's second appearance in the sport, having competed in 1896 but not in 1900. Ejnar Jensen had the best result, placing fourth in the unlimited heavyweight class.

Ten wrestlers competed for Denmark in 1920. It was the nation's third appearance in the sport. All of the Danish wrestlers competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, with none participating in the freestyle competitions. Hansen was the only Dane to win a medal match, taking the heavyweight silver. Eriksen also won a bronze medal, after losing the silver medal match in the only weight class in which no bronze tournament was held. Frisenfeldt reached a silver medal final, while Torgensen reached a bronze match; both lost those matches.
